It's always a pleasure to see an intriguing new talent in plus-size modelling, and curvaceous 5'8 beauty Ottavia Julia Lepera (represented by Heffner Mgmt) certainly qualifies.

Viewers may have first noticed Ottavia modelling several new items in the Hips & Curves online catalogue, such as the following pretty chemise.

However, the young Miss Lepera has already created a number of pro-curvy images in her career, particularly the following remarkable picture in her Heffner portfolio, which admirably celebrates the roundness of her middle.

Another photograph showing Olivia in the same outfit exhibits her shapely limbs and buxom voluptuousness.

Unquestionably, the finest image of Miss Lepera's career to date is this thrilling profile view, created for Missy Ink magazine, which presents the model as the most alluring teacher ever to grace any classroom. The outfit is a styling masterpiece, from the ultra-fitted skirt which showcases the model's reverse-view contours and a touch of fullness at her middle, to the passionate red belt which struggles to contain her curves, to the sheer blouse which teases with a view of the model's intimate apparel and bares her soft, rounded arms, sensually dimpled at the elbows.

The picture also demonstrates Olivia's exceptional talent as a model. She exudes precisely the right degree of voluptuous sensuality in her expression, with a carnal look that is utterly irresistible, from her steamy eyes to her appetitively parted mouth. The wild, witchy hair externalizes the teacher's own uncontrollable passions. She lives for self-indulgence of every kind, and her figure has blossomed into seductive richness as a result.

A very effective series of black-and-white images confirm Olivia's talent at evoking delectable sensuality, much as they celebrate her soft physique. Her expression is this image is fetchingly defensive, with almost a hunted quality.

Another take finds her expressing a touch of near cruelty, yet still evoking dark beauty.

In this picture, the model's limbs appear attractively untoned, while her soft contours form her outfit into a feminine shape. Her expression is captivatingly vulnerable. Observe the exquisite cheekbones, softened by facial fullness.

The opulence of her accessories matches the well-fed richness of her physique in the next photograph. The gesture by which she caresses her own jewellery is supremely seductive, as is the visible softness of her figure.

An over-the-shoulder shot hints at the model's buxom curves, yet the focus is on her passionate, appetitive gaze.

Just for good measure, here is a rare example of Olivia smiling, showing that, yes, she is every bit as lovely with a warmer demeanour.

Nevertheless, full-fledged seductiveness is definitely Miss Lepera's forte. The wildness of her attire in the following test photographs, with accents such as fur and feathers, exposes the almost primal nature of her allure. Her fair, flushed complexion and red lip colour add to the passionate effect.

The animal-print legwear introduces another primordial element into the image, while the outfit's plunging décolletage is intoxicatingly sensual.

The unbridled flow of her thick, magnificent tresses is the pièce de résistance. Though aspects of this attire may be contemporary, the accessories and the model's own dramatic self-presentation establish her as an earthy seductress of almost elemental power.

A profile view showcases her reverse-view contours and acknowledges the attractive swell of fullness at her middle.

For this look as well, Olivia provides a lone, pretty, smiling image, a warm and rich headshot that is remarkably effective. Some models specialize in darker looks, some in gentler demeaours, but Olivia is adept at both.

Interestingly, Miss Lepera appears to have found a colour palette that best suits her look, one involving dark colours accented with touches of red. The following outfit exemplifies this tendency, with the red shoes picking up her lip colour and the reds in her sleeves for a striking effect.

Even this passionate headshot is marked by reddish lighting.

Bravo to Olivia for making a memorable debut. Gorgeous, talented, with visible curves, she could have a very successful career and prove to be quite popular with the public. We wish her every success.

Everyone who enjoyed the first images of the lovely Ottavia Lepera will be even more delighted with the next set of photographs of this eye-catching model.

This headshot, for example, shows off her bewitching green eyes, so effectively set off by her pastel-green jewellery.

Miss Lepera's signature style remains a rich, dark sensuality, as so effectively exhibited in the following picture, showing the model provocatively reposing on a crimson bedsheet. The warm, low lighting in the room, and the touch of daylight intruding through the window, creating an intimate effect.

Most sensual of all, however--indeed, one of the most alluring and pro-curvy photographs that any model has yet created--is the following image, in which Ottavia boldly showcases the opulent fullness of her middle. Her soft physique struggles to escape her garment. The way in which her long, dark tresses flow over her shoulders is captivating, while the dramatic lighting creates an evocative chiaroscuro effect.

Observe how the following headshot creates a striking contrast to the previous close-up. In this photograph, with cool-blue lighting, the model's complexion appears fairer. The pale lip colour harmonizes with Ottavia's skin tone, while the complex necklace, with its touches of green, picks up the hue of the model's eyes.

Miss Lepera has a talent for creating some of the most intriguing test photographs of any up-and-coming model. We continue to look forward to her future successes.
